Why there might be a low turnout in Mana

This billboard is up on display in Mana. It is not photoshopped.

In music terms it’s known as turning the machine up to 11. In photoshop terms it’s called turning it up to Helen Clark.

The 20th is tomorrow, a Sunday. I suspect most of Faafoi’s supporters may be otherwise engaged.

Perhaps the Pastor votes for them, later on.

Could this be Jolyon and his team up to more billboard stickering?

Put it away

The date hasn’t been photoshopped. The photo of faafoi has been softened and smoothed till they can smooth nae more!

Since he has been around for the last seventy-eighty years, his memory might not be, what it ought to be.

Poor old KFC.

They were getting all geared up for the 26th. Look for some hot specials there next Saturday.

Puts a whole new complexion on the old Irish political slogan of “Vote early…….and vote often!”

is that a sticker or a firm board or something? I am just curious about the edge of the ‘sticker’ over running the side of the poster. We don’t have these sorts of things up this way.

Just another cock up from the leftard muppets.

And yet they’d have us believe that they’re fit to run the country?

Bwahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa

Maybe Kris Faafoi is too busy attending a world famous event on Saturday 26 November?

Inventory2, yes, that’s the by-election. Perhaps an old sign? But condition is pretty good still, so maybe some National Party activist stuck it up?

Faafoi’s face and teeth have been photo shopped. He seems to place himself in shot every time Phil Goff is being filmed.

Sorry to burst your bubble DPF, but the image has been altered. Apart from the obvious “sticker” edge overhang on the right, if you zoom in on, say PhotoShop, you can see the “sticker” pixelation is a lot smoother (a result of using a “brush” to erase the existing text), compared to the rest of the image.

[DPF: I do not believe it has been. These are the hoardings Labour used in the by-election. They have put stickers over the 20 on most of them to make it 26 but have missed at least this one]

Well other than the obvious mistake of not stickering one hoarding, or perhaps the sticker has been maliciously removed, good on Labour for re-using the hoarding rather than re-printing. Seems like a sensible decision economically in terms of party funds and also environmentally. Maybe that’s why Goff isn’t on them, so they can use them next election too.

Typical of Labour hold the Election one week early, and declare themselves the winner by default.

Oh it most certainly IS photoshopped. I can assure everyone that Chris Faafoi does not glow and shine in real life.

The white strip is real, though.
